Chief Justice Gertrude Torkornoo is charging judges and magistrates especially the female to accept in good faith wherever her office posts them to discharge their duties.
According to the CJ the judiciary is gradually becoming a female majority, hence the need for them accept her directives without any complaints.
…As the Chief Administrator of the Judiciary, it means I can send you to Tumu, I can send you to Nsoatre, I can send you to Nkawkaw and I should hear no quibble about your womanhood when it comes to going to those places because they are part of Ghana and they are part of the undertaking that you have made in becoming Majistrates. District Courts are in every corner of the nation and you serve the nation from those corners. And so gone are the days when ladies were educated in the cities and the towns. Now, we go into the hinterlands because the judiciary is highly ferminized.
She added: ”This staatements are not made to only the Majistrates but also to the family herein gathered. Husbands, mothers, brothers and sisters. These ladies must be released to go anywhere that they choose. Otherwise, there is no place in the judiciary for them.”
Justice Torkornoo made this known while swearing in some 23 new magistrates in Accra on Monday, March 4, which comprised of 13 females and 12 males.
